Christmas Gifts

Leslie, Liv, and I made a trip to Ikea today. I needed to look for christmas presents for Liv and since I was there I wanted to buy a few more decorations for our tree.

I didn't plan on buying the gifts today, but after looking online, I decided to make the purchases because helloo did you know how expensive it is to have things shipped to Canada? Too expensive.

I have been wanting to get Liv an armchair, much like the pottery barn anywhere chairs. I loved how big and comfy they looked and how you could get a name monogrammed onto them. Well I saw this chair in Ikea and went in a totally different direction. It also helped that it was more than half the price of what the pbk chair would have been.

Pat and I have been planning on getting Liv a kitchen for quite awhile. First for her birthday and now I've decided we are taking the plunge. I wanted something wooden that would stand up and be visually appealing. This kitchen came with 2 pieces, but the top piece which was comprised of a shelf and microwave is too tall for Liv right now anyways, so we just purchased the bottom piece.

I ran into this fabric food and could not pass it up. Its adorable and I thought they were pretty unique.

How cute is that???! Now I'm basically finished. Liv needs a stocking and some stocking stuffers, some of which will be pots and pans because wouldn't you know I forgot that part.

OMG really cute! I wish we had an IKEA here. Arianna also got a kitchen for Christmas, but it isn't nearly as modern and trendy as Liv's :) Anyway, love the fabric food. I thought about trying to make some of that, but gave up after about an hour, haha.

I was looking at Ikea for a similar chair to the PB Anywhere the other day! I love the felt food and am hopefully going to get some for Blondie Boy to go with the kitchen his grandparents are getting him!
